It seems I have been out of sync with the majority opinion on many of these vids for some time now and I just don't get it because I am always right!
So let's straighten up out there you guys and gals. Before you all go off praising episodes like this one please check with me first. I know you don't want to be wrong and I promise I will try to correct you gently and with a minimum of embarrassment.
I'm not singling out any one person or persons in particular. I think most of you know who you are. Remember asking for help is the first step to recovery.
The saddest part of this episode was watching Jessica try to conjure up the cute and goofy Bree of *Bree-years" gone by. The exaggerated facial expressions, rolling her eyes, her accent - an interesting mix of NZ Kiwi and Chesapeake Bay Eastern Shore watermen...back in the day they all suggested the presence of a "girly girl". It reminded me a woman/child addict I once knew who had lost her innocence (annihilated it really) but relied on it to get her through situations. At first it was disconcerting, then sad, than pathetic and then of course, useless.
A melancholy ramble eh? Forget it. BTW I was just joking in the first paragraph y'know! d'uh.

So let's straighten up out there you guys and gals. Before you all go off praising episodes like this one please check with me first. I know you don't want to be wrong and I promise I will try to correct you gently and with a minimum of embarrassment. I don't think it's the majority opinion that this episode was good. I think it was an attempt at bringing back old Bree, a failed one and therefore not a good episode, but an attempt nonetheless. As some has said it's probably one of the best ones in awhile, but that's like being the one-eyed man in a world of blind people. The saddest part of this episode was watching Jessica try to conjure up the cute and goofy Bree of *Bree-years" gone by. The exaggerated facial expressions, rolling her eyes, her accent - an interesting mix of NZ Kiwi and Chesapeake Bay Eastern Shore watermen... This is what really hurt this episode. You could see her straining to reconjure old Bree, but it just wasn't happening. It'd be interesting to speculate on reasons why. Is it truly that her time away in LiLo Land has caused her to "move on" from Bree? She's getting job offers now and doesn't need this second-rate internet vlog anymore? Also this episode wasn't helped by the fact they used the word "bored" three times in a space of a two minute video. I mean come on! I thought this was entertainment? They made me bored just watching her bored. I hope that the boredom that came off from her wasn't a deeper reflection of her feelings about LG15 and the character- because it sure seemed that way to me. That said, if I had to keep up with the true absurdity which has been unfolding and still have to put on a straight face while running away for the 80th time or taking Jonas to the vet, well I think I would have become fed up with my character too... Also I love the thought of Jess as an Eastern Shore waterman- or a captain! Arghh mateys tis I, Jessica Rose! |

a quick "afterthought". I think I mentioned before how I dig catching those "inside references" in some of the vids. Now that I think about it...subliminally I was getting the whole bored vibe from this vid. Not just from JR but - maybe - from the whole "gang".
I wonder if "they" are all starting to feel a little fed up with the stories failure to "break-out"; the frustration of trying to get a really good web site set up; financing; casting, writing, financing, pervert PM's; and financing et cetera, et cetera, et cetera
If it is frustrating for us, it must truely be exasperating for "them". I can almost hear the mental comments: "I went to law school for this!?" or "God, I could be a Doctor right now!"
God bless 'em
P.S. la de da Ms. Crow....aren't we the hippest bitch mistress there is !
(do I have to say I am kidding!? You know I am at your service - right?)

This episode lost me at the point she said 'one of Tychon's camps' ... *shakes head* A plot like this only works if you are Kathy Acker and portray a day in the life of a lesbian ninja hacker terrorist and her confused android sidekick ... with swear words. Back in mediocre land this is just lame. NIN eh? Damn you! Can I upstage you without sounding too pretentious by saying that my reason for not caring is that I will go on a seven city press tour for my product release in two weeks? Milan! Yay! Paris! Oh la la! London! Oi, mate? Nah, you're right, it's NIN, you win  |
